a new home

Welcome to my latest (and hopefully last) blog. And welcome to my world–sometimes crazy, many times boring and most probably corny (sorry!) and maybe a lot ungrammatical. but hey nobody’s perfect. and nobody’s reading, probably. except you. 

i have been blogging for sometime now.  i think i’ve got four or five blogs out there. the first two (or maybe three) are so empty. and i mean that literally.  i’m one of those people who keeps forgetting their passwords.  then there’s my friendster blog (http://queen_fisher.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/) where i’ve been quite active  ( at least in the beginning.)  i just wasn’t too comfortable with more than a hundred people getting an email every time i write an entry.  i’m sure only a handful of them wanted to read my thoughts on anything anyways.  still, i’m sending out an email to all my friends to announce this new blog.  just the one email, though.  (the handful who read my old blog would appreciate it, i’m sure.) 

and there was my secret blog where i unleashed all my angsts and issues. well, technically it wasn’t really a secret blog.  a few people have read it judging  by some hits and comments i’ve received. no one knew who i was though,  i hope!  it was really only a secret to those who knew me.  it was nothing exciting really.  just the usual petit bourgeois angsts and frustrations  which i’ll probably be venting here from now on.  no more secret blogs!  honestly, my secrets were not really that juicy anyways.   

only one friend knew about it and she has been asking for ages to read it, but i refused.  she gave up when i said i’ll tell her only when i’m dying (specially since i refused to knock on wood after i said the word “dying.” ) 

but guess what: i forgot the password to that one, too. typical.  so it’s really goodbye secret blog now.

hopefully, i won’t forget my password this time.  if that happens…i’ll be back on my friendster blog.  ugh!

 i won’t forget it this time.

 my close friend mao gave me a wondeful gift last month.  she had my gadgets (laptop and cellphone) G-masked.  i initially wanted to cover it with either sunflowers or fishes  but i fell in love with the cherry design.  now they look so delicious all covered with cherries. makes me kinda hungry all the time. or i’m just cooking up an excuse to indulge in gluttony. again. as if i need an excuse for that.hahaha.   but i so love my gadgets now.  i was thinking of changing phones for quite sometime now but  i think my phone’s staying with me for maybe a year more. or longer.  suddenly, i’m in love with my phone again and even more in love with my laptop.  my husband should be jealous.

i’ve been trying to lose weight for some time now (since forever really!). i was quite successful in the first three months (i started october) then of course the holidays came and the annual barangay fiesta (in my husband’s home barangay in Isabela) on the first week of february then my father-in-law’s first death anniversary. i bought every magazine that promised i can avoid weight gain  during the holidays but i didn’t really have the discipline required.  and while i haven’t gained back everything i’ve lost, my new clothes (mostly  bought just before christmas) are telling me that the pounds are coming back really fast.  which really sucks!  it’s really hard to get back on track after all cardiac delights i’ve consumed in the last three months.  thankfully, i have good friends who just started jogging and invited me to join them.  it’s really more fun to exercise with friends.   so fun that on our first day we found ourselves laughing just all the time. i don’t think we really did much exercise that day. plus we kept encountering the hot monay man that we had to buy some from him and we managed to rest beside the siomai manang while we were eating the monay and you know what happened next. We now do it twice a week –the running and the eating (it used to be just once) and we’ve grown from a group of three to a group of five now.  and i heard, two more friends are joining us next week.  we were even asked if we wanted to join a marathon.  hahaha. good luck! our only problem now is how not to get distracted by all the hot monay, taho and siomai we see everytime we jog.   oh, well…

be happy, everyone!
